The part of the project requiring the generator is scheduled to begin in mid-May, and will take several weeks to complete. A noise waiver for the generator has been requested from Montgomery County. The intersection is about half-a-block from the nearest occupied residences on Fenton Street.
too much construction at same time!
ReplyDeleteFenton Street between Ellsworth and Wayne is always backed up because of construction. Is it purple line? Is it sewers?
11:01 is correct - it's an ongoing WSSC water main replacement project (they're working in downtown Bethesda, too), and also notorious MoCo traffic congestion caused by not completing our master plan highway system. What should have been pass-through traffic being moved through on freeways is instead traveling the downtown street grid and congested commuter routes like Georgia Avenue.
DeleteThere is WSSC work being done there, but it generally backed up there because of sheer volume. Plus, the lack of a traffic light with a right and left turn signal on Fenton going south hasn't helped much.
